However, if you don’t finish a full book every month, the credits start to accumulate. Audible does limit this benefit, and if you abuse it and return “too many” books, they might remove your ability to return books – though they don’t specify what the limits are, exactly.Īudible’s monthly credit system is a blessing if you’re an avid listener, as it always reminds you to look for a new book, and the price (via credits) is, in most cases, very attractive.

Interestingly, any book you’ve bought on Audible can be returned and exchanged for a different one, for any reason (up to 12 months after the purchase) – even if you’ve listened to the entire book. Generally speaking, since the normal Audible price is £7.99/month, it’s always best to use your credit on a book that costs more than that (and most do) – as that will give you the best value for money. Therefore, value-for-money is a bit hard to measure on Audible, as it really depends on how you use your monthly credit. ALL of these examples would cost you… one credit. Once you join Audible’s basic membership tier, you get 1 “credit” every month.Įach credit can be exchanged for one audiobook, regardless of its original price – so you might see books that are sold for £31.99 and are 30-hours-long, collections of works that span over more than 70 hours and normally cost £79.99, and plays that are 1-hour long and cost £4.99.
